is a detail sectional view on the line 1212 .of'Figs. 10 and 13. Fig. 13is a top plan i2020 of Fig. 19. Fig. 21 illustrates the ...transfer typeholder.

Referring to the drawings, the invention comprises a base 1 on which ismounted a mam frame 2 of suitable-construction and comprising a bedplate 3. A vertical shaft" 4 and a horizontal operating shaft 5 are theycarry intermeshing bevel gears 4 and 5 (Fig. 2). The horizontal shaft 5is pro- Fig. 17 is an enlarged detail view,

vided with a handwheel 6 whereby it can be readily operated to turn theshaft 4.

The type'ma azine is cylindrical in form and-is mounte on the verticalshaft 4 to turn therewith. It comprises a plurality of type holders 7'rigidly secured in upright position to the periphery of one orv morespider rings 8 keyed to the vertical shaft (Fig. 4). These magazine typeholders may be made separate from each other and independentl secured tothe spider rin screws 8 'or they may all be connected together in theform of a drum provided with channels 7' for the type 9.

An indicator bar 10 (Figs. 1, 2) is supported on the frame transverselyof the machine, preferably at the 'top of the magazine, and the characters corresponding to the type in the magazine are printed or otherwiseapplied to this bar in accordance with the manner-in which the type arearranged in the magazine. A slide ll is arranged to travel on the bar 10and it is attached to a ribbon 12 which travels over pulleys 13 mountedon the main frame at the ends of theindicator bar and is crossed infront of and travels also on a wheel 14 to which its ends are securedand which is rigidly mounted on the vertical shaft 4 (Fig. 2). The slidecarries an indicator '15 (Fig. 1) which comprisesa plate pivoted'at 15to :the slide. This plate has two pointed. ro-

jections 16, 16 and when it is arrange inpivot to rest on the stop 1'?and then the projection 16 will be directed downward to operate as theindicator and it may be mentioned here that this change of the indicatorI form of a magazine type holder, is supported on a frame 19 which ispivotally mounted at 19' on the main frame and is its held normally inthe position shown in Fig.

4 by the spring 19". Each of the holders 7 is provided at' its lower endwith inturned I projections 20 (Fig. to support the stack of typesin'the holder and form an end wall therefor. "These projections arearran ed to leave an opening 20 therebetween I or a purpose hereafterdescribed. At the upper end of the chute 18 there is a gripper 21 whichis shaped substantially to fit over the face of any type and is normallylocated in '10 front oft-he magazine and above its lower edge to engage.and lock the second tvne from the bottom in amagazine holder.

f the back of the channel which registers with the lowest type in" anyone of the holders.

A bell crank lever comprising the ups" wardly projecting arm 22, and theforwardly. pro ecting arm 22 ,is pivotally mounted at 22 on themainframe (Figs. 4, 6). The lever arm 22 projects upward through an opening3 .in the bed plate 3 and is pivotally engaged with'a combinedlocking'and ejectorslide 23 at 23'. Th s slide travels on the bed plate3' between projection 26 which is arranged'to enter between two pins 25to lock the magazine with the two lower types in one holder registeredwith the gripper 2l and the opening 21; The slide also carries anejector 27 which is adapted, on the forward movement'of the. slide, toenter the opening 7 in the back of the holder and push the lowermost tye through the opening 21 into the chute w'hi e the typeabove the onethus'being dischargedfrom the magazine into the chute is engaged andheld the gripper 21 (Fig.- 6). This movement of the gripper intoengagement with the second type from the bottom in the holder isaccomplished by swinging the chute frame 19 on itspivot from theposition shown inFig. 4 to that shown in Fig. 6.

A block 28 having a cam projection 28 issuported on a lug 28" projectingrearward y from the chute frame 19 and'this block is engaged by a roller29 supported on a projection 29 on the lever arm 22' The bell cranklever is operated by a setter lever '30 which is mounted at one end on arock shaft 30 supported in the main frameand is connected by a link 30"to the lever arm 22' (Figs; 1, 4.) Thus it will be readily observed byreference to Figsyl and 6 that after the magazine has been adjusted byturning hand wheel 6 to bring the type desired to be set into registerwith the opening 21 and the setter lever is depressed, the lever arm 22will swing forward to carry the locking projection 26 into operativeposition and to operate the ejector 27, but the ejector has released thesprin 9-. low the gripper there is an opening 21' at "in" the holderdown to the bottom thereo that the lowest type'in the stack will alwaysbe located in osition to be discharged from a limited travel before itengages the type and duringthis time the ever arm 22,

swings downward and the roller 29 travels onto the cam projection 28' sothat the chute frame is swung rearward on its plvot and the gripper isengaged with the second type. When the pressure on the setter lever 30is 19 returns the chute frame to it's norma position ig. 4) and a spring31 attached to the bed late and the lever arm'22 returns the bel cranklever and the parts connected therewith to normal position; The spring19" constantl tends to swin the chute frame 19 outward ut this outwardmovement is limited'by the engagement of the cam block 28 with theroller 29. The-inward or .rearward movement of the slide 23 may belimited'by the engagement .of the locking projection 26 with the crossbar 24 and bythe enga ement' of the rear end of the slide with a ug 3'on the bed plate 3, and the outward or forward movement of the'slide'maybe limited by engagement of the lug 2-3"- thereon with, the cross bar 24Figs. 4, 6).

A pus er 32 is pivotally supported at 32 on the chute frame 19 and itprojects into 'the channel of the chute. Aspring 33 holds the pushernormally u against a stop 33' on the chute frame 4). A bar 34 ispivotally connected at 34" to the lever arm 22' and itcarries a theusher on the downward movement of the ever arm 22 and causes said pusherto push the type which has been ejected from, the magazine vinto thechute down below the opening 21. This bar 34 is held by a spring 35attached to the lever arm 22 against the projection'36 on the upward ex:tension37 o the chute frame (Figs. 1, 4:, 6).

- When the setter arm 30 and the lever arm '22 return to' normalposition the bar.34 will riseto carry thep1n'34"';away from the pusherand the spring 33 will swing the .pusher u to'the osition shown in -F g.4,'

h te in e feeding mechanism islillustr Fig-.4 and Figs. 6-9 and it-comrises a-- I low its pivot. The spring 33 is attached to stack of type inthe magazine holder.

the outer end 'of arm 39' and a block 41 (Fig. 9) is pivoted at 41' on ashaft 41 (Fig. 1) which ismounted on the arm 39 (Fig; 6,). This block 41is provided with a lug 42, anarm 43 and a stop lug 44. A

spring 47 is connected to the arm 43 and to the upper end 45 of thefeeder arm 45. The lug 42 is made substantially-trian lar in shape andthe bar 34 is provided with a lug 48 of similar shape and these two'lugs42 and 48 are arranged with a flat surface on each in parallel relation.The spring 33 normally,holds a cam surface 49- on the feeder arm inengagement with a stop 49' on the u ward extension 37 of the chute framean the s ring 47'normally holds the lug 44 on the b ock 41 in engagementwith the feeder arm (Fig. 4). The bar 34 is normally held by spring 31with the lug 48 above the lug-42 on the block 41 (Fig. 4) and when thelever 22' pulls the bar 34 down the lug 48 will engage the lug 42thereby causing theblock 41 to yield by swin ing to the right (Fig. 4).As the bar 34 y en gagement of its lug 48 with the lug 42 causes theblock 41 to swing to the right the spring 47 yieldingly pulls on thefeeder arm 45 to swing the projections 46 into en agement with the type.At the same time t 1e feeder arm is carried downward, its cam 49 riding'on the stop 49,-topermit of the inward and downward movement of theprojections 46 as the lug 42 is forced to one side clear of the lug 48.The projections 46 are arranged to enter betweenadjacent type as theyare swung into engagement therewith and the downward movement of thefeeder arm is sufiicient to feed the stack of type downward so that thelowest type in the stack will be located opposite the opening 21. thelever 38 will be swung on its pivot because the. block 41 and lever arm45 are pulled downward at the same time they are swung to the right(Fig. 4), and the spring 33 is stretched. When the lug 48 clears andpasses lug 42 the bar 34 continues its downward movement while thespring 33 and the spring 47 return the lever 38, b1ock'41 and feeder arm45. to their normal position. The stop 40 is arranged to engage theextension 37 to limit the swinging movement of lever 38 under thetension of spring 33. The stop 44 on block 41 engages the leverarm 45,-to limit the swinging movement of said block under the tension of spring47. As the bar 34 continues its downward movement the pin 34" operatesthe pusher (Fig. 6) in the manncr before described and on the returnmove- During the movement just described.

I ment of the bar 34 the lug 48- pushes by the lug 42 to normal position(Fig. 4).

As myinven'tion is particularly useful for setting up addresses in asuitable holder to constitute the printing device I have shown anaddress holder 50 in the drawings (Figs. 1, 10, 13).v It will be readilyunderstood that my invention is not confined simply for use in settingup'and distributing addresses and I shall use the term address holderherein for convenience to include any suitable holder for receiving typein my machine. The address holder is supported'on a frame 51 which isslidably mounted on the rods 52 secured in horizontal parallel positionon the main frame} The address holder is arranged h on the frame5lagainst lugs 51 thereon and it is securely held in position by a'locking lever 53 which is pivoted at'53 on the frame 51. This lever hasa cam face 54 to engage the address holder and clamp it against the lugs51 to lock it securely on the frame. A spring 5.5 will hold the lockinglever out of operative position when 'it is released from engagementwith the address holder. The address holder is provided with a pluralityof type grooves 50' to receive the type and the holder is arranged onits frame directly below the chute 18 so that the type which have been,set in the chute may be raked by any suitable device into a groove ofthe address holder. The frame 51 can be adjusted manually on the rods 52to bring any one of the type grooves in the address holder intoalinement with the chute. 18.

I also'provide a device for locking the address holder and its frame inproper position to receive a line of type from the chute 18. This devicecomprises a lever 56 pivoted at 56 on the main frame and provided with atoe 57 which is arranged to engage the "open end of the groove in theaddress holder next adjacent to the groove which is to re-' ceivethe'.line of type from the chute 18 (Figs. 1,13). If the type is to heraked into the first groove in the address holderthe toe will be engagedwith the side of the holder and rest upon the upper lug 51. A spring 58.is connected to the main frame and to a projection 58 on the lever 56 tohold the toe 57 in looking engagement with the addressholder.

The .magazine holders may be made so 7 that the type will fit and movemore or less freely therein, and the chute is preferably only underpressure. The grooves in the address holder are preferably made :to holdthe'type like the chute and in order to keep ositiQI i Whichmade so thatthe type will move therein but 50 ley 80-on the slug.

The handle lever lsprovided, below its pivot'68", with a toe69 which is arranged lever and a spring stud between said u to engagethe underside of a 'rod 7 O whichis secured in the main' frame.

The slu' frame is adapted to oscillate on a rod and its discharge end isreturned to normal elevated position (Fig. 10) -by a spring 71' which isfastened to the underside of the slug frame, at the discharge end of thetable, and engages the rod .70. A

threadedstud 72 on the slug frame extends downward through a lug 67 onthe driver 73 is arranged on said spring returns thedriver lever andhandle :lever tonormal position afterthey have been operated. The slugframe isloounter-bal-L anced by-a Weight 74'and this same weight isutilized for-feeding the'slugs along to dis-- charge position on thetable. The Weight is carried by a rope 76 which is fastened at one-end.to theslug frame at 77 and passes over. a. pulley '78 supported on themain frame,--thence around a pulley 7 on the weight,f-thence over apulley. 79 mounted alongside of the pulley 78, then around pul-- frameat or about its middle, then aroun 13) This collar jop 59 and pushesthe-slugs-along to discharge position. 1

This ad- "justment ofthe type setting mechanismis facilitated by the -.c.ounter-'balancing' weight '74 which,asheretfOrefstated, also serves to operate the slug feeder 85. After thepocket is properly positioned the handle lever 68' is depressed and asits toe 69 is fulcrumed against the rod 70 the driver lever 67 willbeswungdownward on its pivot to cause the driver66 toenter the pocket 63and force the slug through the pocket between the spring -fingers andinto the groove of the'address holder.

.tributing mechanism of my improved machine whereby type from theaddress holders are distributed back in proper place in the magazine. Inthe first place it will be understood that the slugs are removed fromthe address holder by pincers, or other suitable instruments, and theaddress holder is arranged in' reverse position end for end on .theframe 51. That is to say, when the address holder is being' filled it isarranged as shown in Fig. 13 with the open end of the type channelsuppermost and the end provided with the stops 50 lowermost. Fordistributing the type the holder is arranged with the open end of thetype channels downward (Fig. 15).:

. ,From the. address holder the type are raked into the channel .of' along transfer holder 86which is secured on a frame 87 against lugs 88 bya locking lever 88 (Figs. 15, 16). This frame is provided with log,socket lugs'87' and an uppersocket lug which engage-with the cross rods52 on the main frame of the machine and whereby the transferframe'may'be removabl engaged with the main frame. A device or'lockingthe transfer frame in position, with the channel of the transfer holder86 in salinement with. the groove in the address holder, is provided onthe transfer frame and 1t comprises a lever 89 under tension-of s ring90 and provided with a toe 89' whic engages-a channel in the type holderin the manner heretofore described inconnection with'the device '56 forlocking the address holder'on its frame. The transfer holder ispreferably of such a length thatit will receive the content'sof at leastseveral grooves of an address holder, and of several holders, ifdesired, and after the transfer holder has been filled with :type fromthe address holder, or holders, it isl removed from its frame andsecured upright position 'on the brackets 91, attachedtothe main frameopposite the magazine (Figs. 1, 19) and above the chute 92-fastenedtothemain frame Fi 17). The transfer holder .is secured to the %rackets -.91by spring clips 93 (Fig, 20)

. I will now proceed to describe thedis- 7 To prevent the type fromslipping out of the transfer holder while the latter is being moved fromreceiving position (Figs. 15, 16) to distributing position in thebrackets 91 (Figs. 17, 19) I rovide said holder with a on a bracket 95depending from the bed the channel of the transfer holder and enplate 3.This lever operates between guides 94 and carries a finger 96 which isarranged to enter the chute 92 and force a type therefrom into theparticular holder of the magazine which hasbeen registered in properposition. In View of the fact that the distributing mechanism is locatedat one side of the setting mechanism it will be un-. derstood, to secureproper registration, the indicator 15 must be thrown over to engage thestop 17 The type are moved from the transfer holder to fill'the chute 92so that the lowermost type in the chute will be in position to be pushedby the distributing finger 96 into the magazine holder. The type are feddownward in the transfer holder and from said holder into the chute 92by a weight 97 which slides on a rod 98 supported on the main frame, and-this weight has a projection 97 which travels in v gages the typetherein.

The distributing lever 94 is operated by a forked lever 98 which ispivotally con nected at 98 with ahand lever 99 pivoted on the main frameat 99. The lever 98 has a projection 100 which is arranged to engage aprojection 101 on the distributing lever, whereby said distributinglever will be swung on its pivot when the hand lever is depressed. Thelever 98 also has an arm 102 which operates a device for locking themagazine in position to receive a type after a'holder has been properlyregistered in distributing position. This locking device comprises anangle lever 103 which is pivotally mounted at 103 on the bracket 95 andis pivotally connected at 103 to the arm 102. The upper arm 104 of thisangle lever is arranged to enter between any pair of pins 25 on themagazine to lock the magazine in registered position just as it islocked for the setting operation by the locking projection 26.

In order to raise the stack of types in the magazine holder into whichthe typeis to be inserted at the lowerend of the holder I provide a rod105 which is guided in .a lug 106 'on the bracket 95 and is providedwith a stop 107-to engage said lug and limit the downward movement ofthe rod. This rod is arranged to be engaged at its lower end g.jby a pin108 on the'lever 98 and when this 6 lever'is first raised it will pushtherod 105 upward through the opening 20 in the at the lower end of themagazine holder.

As the type is thus'forced into its magazine holder the rod 105 ispushed out of the lower end of the holder by lug 9 1" on ,lever 94 (Fig.17 The upper end of the rod 105 is normally held in position to enterthe lower end of the magazine holder by the spring 109. 1

My invention provides a simple and compact machine for setting anddistributing type in a convenient and expeditious manner and the severaloperations of setting as well as of distributing are timed and producedin such a simple manner that the machine can be used by persons notespecially skilled, for which reason it is adapted for office use byowners and operators of addressing and similar machines.
